Additional quotes by Oliver Goldsmith

The only art her guilt to cover, To hide her shame from every eye,
To give repentance to her lover, And wring his bosom——is to die.

The canvas glow'd beyond ev'n Nature warm,
The pregnant quarry teem'd with human form.

Travellers, George, must pay in all places: the only difference is, that in good inns, you pay dearly for your luxuries, and in bad inns you are fleeced and starved.
